SHOOT: Fascinating article

clipped from www.newtonproject.sussex.ac.uk On a Sunday morning in April, two weeks before the death of Albert Einstein, I sat and talked with him about the history of scientific thought and great men in the physics of the past. I had arrived at the Einstein home, a small frame house with green shutters, at 10 o'clock in the morning and was greeted by Helen Dukas, Einstein's secretary and housekeeper. She conducted me to a cheerful room on the second floor at the back of the house. This was Einstein's study. It was lined on two walls with books from floor to ceiling and contained a large low table laden with pads of paper, pencils, trinkets, books and a collection of well-worn pipes. There was a phonograph and records. Dominating the room was a large window with a pleasant green view. On the remaining wall were portraits of the two founders of the electromagnetic theory – Michael Faraday and James Clerk Maxwell.
